Bound for Haiti!

I just wanted to send out a quick email to let you know we are leaving for Haiti tomorrow morning (Friday, May 23^rd).  We will be there until next Tuesday.  As you may recall, we had to postpone our trip in April due to the crisis in Haiti.  Needless to say, we are anxious to finally make the trip and be there among our friends & family.

What will the team be doing in Haiti?

We will be hosting two training events for CIM pastors and leaders while we are there.  The first will be held Friday evening in the capital city of Port-au-Prince.  The second will be in Jonathan’s home town – Jean Rabel (Northwest Haiti).  We will also be delivering and distributing the rice/beans that many of you helped provide.  Over 300 families will receive a portion of this much needed food.  Lastly, we will be obtaining video and still camera footage to help us promote and invite others to join the great work CIM is doing in Haiti.  As the old adage goes, “a picture is worth a thousand words.”

Who is going?

Our team for this trip will consist of me, Grant Neiddu and Jonathan Capre.  Jonathan leads the CIM team in Haiti and will be the primary speaker/facilitator of the training events.  I lead the CIM team in the US and will be assisting Jonathan and leading a few of the training sessions.  Grant serves on the CIM team in the US and will be playing various roles – one of which is the official “photographer.”

How can you participate in this trip?

One of the biggest and most practical ways you can support us while we are serving in Haiti is to pray.  As you think about us over the weekend, offer up simple prayers related to our mission objectives stated above.

When we return we will send out highlights from the trip with photos.

Friends and Partners,

Kenny & The Team
